Roland Morant's book on the medieval monastic buildings of Lincolnshire fills a significant gap in books about the surviving monastic buildings in Lincolnshire and includes information relating to all parts of the county in a single volume. It is illustrated with numerous photographs, illustrations, maps and site-plans together with a glossary of architectural terms.
Abbeys and Priories of Lincolnshire Past and Present will appeal to the enthusiastic general reader who enjoys visiting and reading about places of historical interest. It will also be of interest to students of history including those pursuing an interest in their own local history.
